Harden dagger.
Nets, 76ers and Raptors all lose so Bulls will still have at least 1.5-game lead for 10th seed, 2.5 if they somehow rally – 10:10 PM

James Harden is the rare NBA star contributing to his school’s NIL collective, assisting ASU on its 2024 top-10 recruiting. Other players don’t see the point. On the NBA and NIL: frontofficesports.com/how-nba-stars-… – 7:53 AM

James Harden postgame in Detroit
Said that he and T Lue are both competitors trying to win, and minutes is a game-by-game conversation
Praised Cade Cunningham for playing like “one of the best players in this league”
And of course, the need to win before getting back home pic.x.com/3Qw2oAIVr7 – 10:50 PM

Tyronn Lue on the fouls (“We are fouling too much”) and break downs in transition
Also mentioned Harden “clearly got tired, and we shouldn’t have to ask him to (play 39+ minutes), so I just take responsibility for that” pic.x.com/yGVpRPPx0n – 10:43 PM

apologies in advance for postgame media tonight — project night on the road with zero days rest means a truncated night, but I spoke with Tyronn Lue, James Harden, Ivica Zubac, Bogdan Bogdanovic

JB Bickerstaff has to take a timeout as Ausar Thompson needed several moments to gather himself following a collision with James Harden.
Turnovers and fouls are back to bedevil the Clippers, as Detroit leads 42-39. And I’m sure the fouls will continue after JB approached refs – 7:58 PM

Asked Tyronn Lue about Cade Cunningham, a player who touches the ball more per game than anyone in the league except for Jokic, Trae, Hali
T Lue called Cade a 3-level scorer who can post, pullup, shoot, make teammates better. I asked about Cade/Luka/Harden archetype as well pic.x.com/hppIKJwMid – 5:57 PM

More on this storyline
Harden knows his approach stands out from many of his peers. He spends offseasons in Scottsdale, works out at the university, and enjoys being on campus 16 years after being a student. “NIL nowadays is the most important thing, because kids want to be compensated for their play and their work, which makes sense,” Harden said. “I wanted to be a part of helping the team and the school get players … and if NIL is the problem, then I can help with that.” It’s clear that players like Harden view the returns on their investment differently. Hawks guard Georges Niang has contributed $100,000 annually to Iowa State’s We Will collective since NIL became legal in 2021, and he’s happy to try to help fund his alma mater’s success. Even so, he’s aware of the downside of his decision. -via Front Office Sports / February 25, 2025
On April 29, Quaintance committed to Arizona State, a team coming off a 14–18 season that had made the tournament just five times in the past 20 years, never advancing beyond the second round. But the Sun Devils had something those other programs lacked: a high-six-figure donation from NBA superstar James Harden to his alma mater’s Sun Angel collective, Front Office Sports has learned. Harden’s two-year college career came well before college athletes could legally earn money for their NIL (name, image, and likeness), but now he’s involved in helping his school compete with the big boys for top talent. Adding Quaintance helped the Sun Devils sign a top-10 recruiting class heading into this season. -via Awful Announcing / February 25, 2025
